The Holidays are here. Every year we take Santa pics with the entire family. It's a blast. Of course I'm a wreck and praying the kids do well. Sometimes Luke will get a bit of sensory overload. Hannah is full on and ready to go! LOL..
Here is our 2012 Christmas Santa pic. Enjoy!
If you stumble across our dinky CMS blog....send me a message. I love to add friends along the way. Hope you have a blessed and joyful Christmas.
May the God of all and in all bless you greatly.
Warm regards,
Mom..<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's been awhile. But, I got an email from a very sweet family from Germany reminding me that I need to blog as there are so few of us. Luke is doing great!
He's reading 1st grade level
Running
Talking like crazy
Developing quite the little personality
Loves Birds
Loves Fish
Loves Animals.
And occasionally will hug his sister. LOL
Here is our latest family shoot. Luke is going to be a blue spotted sting ray and Hannah will be a princess. Going to be fun!
Our latest from the MAYO CLINIC: We might try liquid albuterol in combo with mestinon to see his stamina and if it increases. Will keep you posted!

Luke lost his 1st tooth today! It was hysterical because I kept saying to Luke "Luke, go awwwww". He finally opened wide and I said "momma fix it". I immediately pulled it right out. It literally has zero 'tug'. LOL! It was ready! <div>
</div><div>My favorite part was when he realized I had his tooth in my hand he stared at it and then ran to the nearest mirror. It was Hannah's mirror that was hanging on the gate. He stared and stared. Then, an hour later while eating a muffin, he went back to the mirror and watched himself eat his muffin. LOL! So cool. I told him the tooth fairy was coming but he literally had no clue what I was talking about. We've never discussed the tooth fairy!! I'll have to work on that. In the meantime, enjoy! </div><div>
</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">I call this video "TOOF Luke". (in honor of Ericka!)</span></div>

Many of you know that Luke and Hannah are in piano lessons. Luke/I have been in piano lessons for quite awhile and we decided to go ahead and put Hannah in the lesson mix on Thursdays. My children are so bright!!!<br /><br />Luke did amazing!! His piano teacher said "Luke may very well end up just being that amazing performer when there is an audience". We were in awe. He will fight us playing goody goody stop stop during practice. it's maddening at times. But then when there is an audience my child plays goody goody stop stop all across the key board!!! LOL! it was amazing!<br /><br />Hannah bow "Bowed" and played one note. ADORABLE. I actually played a little rendition of popcorn and peanuts and I don't have this on video. (sorry) But, my teacher said I played flawlessly. Like son Like daughter Like momma. LOL! They were amazing!<br /><br />If you turn up your volume you will quietly hear Luke playing. It's precious! Love you!! Until next time..Practice, Practice!! :)<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;"><div style="text-align: center;">I call these pictures "Piano cuteness".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I call the video "Piano perfection via Luke". </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">note: They bow before and after. :) Adorable!</div></span><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_lcod5JxKso/TfUOYpH0ucI/AAAAAAAASRg/EmDPXjnxF2k/s1600/IMG_0711.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Big boy is heading to Kinder! Can you believe it?<br /><br />I showed up the last day and took Hannah bow with us! OMEEEGRACIOUSNESS. This child loved it!! Can you say Hannah bow Pre-K! She will love it.<br /><br />Luke was so excited to see me and said "Momma, sit on the rug" as he patted the rug next to him. I immediately walked over there and he got in my lap!! So precious! I so loved it.<br /><br />Ms. Bird (Luke's teacher) gave him a book and hugged him and said her goodbye's as he's heading to Kinder to a whole new teacher/classroom. Really made me sad!! He's been there since he was 3. :((((<br /><br />So, off to big boy school we go next year. Here are some pictures my nurse/attendant took of us that day. I want to point out...I looked amazing. :)<br /><br />Here you go! Love you! <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">I call these pictures "Goodbye Pre-K".</span></b><div><br /></div><div><b>Please note: </b> Hannah bow crawled over and sat on the rug with all the other kids. She sat right in front of this little hispanic boy and would not leave. She just sat right in front of him (away from the focal point where the teacher and kids were looking) and awkwardly stared at him the entire time. It was hilarious. Poor kid! She definitely made it obvious he was special in some way. All the kids were staring at them both. LOL!! Way to go Hannah bow...the uncomfortable awkwardness with people will get better as you grow older. Just like her MOMMA!!

My baby kissed da momma on the lips for the first time in his life!! At 5 years old Luke decided to take my face, angle it right at him and KISS ME and MAKE THE "MMMMMMMWUA"> Sound with it!!!! LOL!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was sitting there and all the sudden he came up, grabbed my face and intentionally kissed me on the mouth. It was adorable. I about died! After he got the reaction from me I immediately said "Heather..you gotta get this on video" and threw her my phone literally! Hence why the sideways view. Dang those iphones!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The funny thing about this day is that he did it over and over. And, he even tried to stick his tongue in my mouth!! LOL. I kept my mouth shut tight on those! LOL. But, after the day was over...all DONE. The next day I said "Luke..give momma a kiss". He ran. So funny!!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I had my day of glory. Loved it. Love my baby boy. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000099;">I call this video "MMMMWUA" in Luke's sweet voice.</span></b></div>

It's amazing, awesome and more awesome. We are thrilled.<br /><br />That said, Luke struggles with 'new' things. In the last several months, He will embrace a 'new' thing if we give it to him for a moment. But then, he'll start freaking out and say BYE, BYE _____(insert item here) and then proceed to throw it across the room and run, hit, knock things over, etc. It's very frustrating for us as a family as we truly want to see his excitement and we **know** that he's excited. He just gets overwhelmed with the transition of having a new item. Does this make sense? <br /><br />So, our new Christmas game plan. Dispatch "Mindy". Our speech therapist. She's amazing. She's attentive, gifted and truly **cares** about the well being of our child with the 'little' things. She goes out of her way to help us as parents. It's a blessing from God. I give Him the glory as I truly realize after today how much the little things mean to our family.<br /><br />So, this video is your Christmas present Mindy. I did not give my therapists anything this year. Why? I honestly did not think about it until just now. Wow. Bad mommy. At any rate, I hope this blesses your Christmas holiday. <br /><br />**If you are going to watch this video, you must watch it until the very end. It's soo key to see the end result. And yes...HE KEPT calm after the video stopped rolling. We are so excited!! Love you Mindy and thank you for **caring** about our dinky little dysfunctional family. <br /><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=cff96966028e60d284d6d9" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="408" height="382" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=cff96966028e60d284d6d9&skin_id=701&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></div><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:408px;text-align:center;"><br /></div></div>Andrea "The H family"http://www.blogger.com/profile/01748535482693740880noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115917651754420315.post-311308232765980882011-01-10T15:47:00.001-08:002011-01-10T15:47:21.290-08:00Piano!House is spotless.

We are in awe of what they can get Luke to do! it's really pretty awesome.<br /><br />That said, here is a glimpse of his hard work. He's our love bug. We are desperately in love with him and his accomplishments. I guess mainly because we think "wow..it's a miracle". Everytime.<br /><br />Behold..Lukester!

It's blast from the past Friday again! This time: LUKESTER!</div><br />As you can see here at around 15mths old Luke was given this chair from ECI (Early childhood intervention) and what a little miracle this chair became in our home. It was a life saver for us as Luke had no muscle tone and could not sit up on his own.<br /><br />So...guess what! Our ECI therapist brings in the same chair for HANNAH!! We laughed out loud because it brought back so many memories of Luke in it.<br /><br />One day, as you can see below, Luke decided to sit in his "Childhood infant" chair. It was so funny to see his legs cascade over to the floor. Wow...our big boy is growing up so fast!<br /><br />So...enjoy the blast from the past pics below. Note: BONUS OF HANNAH BELOW.<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#000099;">I call these pictures "Blue Chair".</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#000099;">PAST</span></strong><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAR8wri_I/AAAAAAAARuE/aX2C04-0zcY/s1600/11.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465751774879779826" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAR8wri_I/AAAAAAAARuE/aX2C04-0zcY/s400/11.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9o81eb-5kI/AAAAAAAARsk/GrNPGoVSB3w/s1600/6.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465747987168683586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9o81eb-5kI/AAAAAAAARsk/GrNPGoVSB3w/s400/6.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#000099;">PRESENT</span></strong><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAFwljFdI/AAAAAAAARt0/ouaTtSp4Exs/s1600/IMG_3163_5448.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465751565453432274" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAFwljFdI/AAAAAAAARt0/ouaTtSp4Exs/s400/IMG_3163_5448.JPG" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAGgSIl3I/AAAAAAAARt8/1o_y5fB7bFI/s1600/IMG_3152_5437.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465751578256906098" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAGgSIl3I/AAAAAAAARt8/1o_y5fB7bFI/s400/IMG_3152_5437.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAFjmxOAI/AAAAAAAARts/ZGgG3gRhFw4/s1600/IMG_3164_5449.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465751561968891906" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iRFkbwR6FF8/S9pAFjmxOAI/AAAAAAAARts/ZGgG3gRhFw4/s400/IMG_3164_5449.JPG" /></a></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">BONUS!
